From the infobox: "Total power generation in 2007 11,227 GW·h " GWh is a unit of energy not power. I don't know how to edit an infobox so someone please take care of it. Leonffs ( talk) 18:47, 25 September 2009 (UTC)
I have have replaced the bare links used as sources for this article with full citations. Hyperlinks frequently break, and without data like news article titles or website page titles, it is often impossible even to know where to look for a replacement source. Archive sites like the Wayback Machine or Google sometimes help, but often do not. For example, the following link from "External links":
now returns an "error 404" (page does not exist), Google can't find it, and the Wayback Machine is offline as I write this. I have therefore removed the link.
In short, bare links should be never be used as sources for Wikipedia articles. You don't necessarily have to create a fully filled-out citation, but at least include basic title and/or descriptive information (date, author) with the reference. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 03:06, 25 July 2007 (UTC) - Ageekgal ( talk) 01:33, 27 February 2008 (UTC)
Would the person who added the proposal tag to split the article into a (non-existant, at this time) new article entitled 2008 Florida Power blackout please include their rationale for that proposed split here? The fact that there is no article for the blackout yet on Wikipedia (that I'm aware of), and the fact that this article is both very undeveloped and does not contain that much information specific to today's blackout, seems to point to not splitting the article at this time, and without your rationale for tagging it we're left without much to go on. - Ageekgal ( talk) 01:33, 27 February 2008 (UTC)
I would agree that this should be split. The event was a large scale issue and was not confined to a single plant. Further, there is a lot more information to cover, including effects, causes, fear of terrorism, and investigation. -- Kri77777 ( talk) 15:58, 27 February 2008 (UTC)
There is not enough to merit a split. When the section on the blackout reaches a good size, call back. -- Plasma Twa 2 ( talk) 19:19, 27 February 2008 (UTC)
I don't understand what makes including the surrounding population relevant to this article. It seems like a random piece of information to put in. -- 24.26.42.89 ( talk) 02:46, 20 April 2011 (UTC)
I'm updating this page based on the moderated discussion at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Feezo#Surrounding_population, and then will update the other nuclear power plants accordingly. Extremely hot ( talk) 22:25, 1 May 2011 (UTC)

"On February 26, 2008, both reactors were shut down due to the loss of off-site power during a widespread power outage in South Florida, affecting 700,000 customers.[12]
At least 2.5 million people were without power."
Was it 700k, or 2.5 million? -- Golbez ( talk) 19:20, 2 September 2011 (UTC)
Is there a reason this article fails to mention the Turkey Point Nuclear Generating Station's recent problem of multiple scrams? 173.88.246.138 ( talk) 04:54, 1 August 2021 (UTC)
